Egypt
For centuries Egypt has attracted visitors and for good reason. The world-renowned treasures of this fabled country, from iconic pyramids to medieval bazaars, almost defy description. But take a look beyond the obvious archaeological treasures, and a country rich in natural beauty and vibrant in contemporary culture is easily revealed.
The Nile defines Egypt as it inundates the delta in the north, slips by rich suburb and impoverished allotment in the capital Cairo, brings life to the settlements of the Nile Valley and delivers visitors in floating palaces to the great archaeological wonders of the ancient world.
The pyramids at Giza, the sole survivors of the world's seven ancient wonders, are almost too engaging for their own good. The lotus-columned Temples of Luxor and Karnak, the beauty of sunrise across the Valley of the Kings, or the sound-and-light show at the mighty tombs of Abu Simbel all thrill legions of modern tourists today as they have since the Greeks first visited in Alexander's time.
So potent is Egypt's archaeological heritage that it's easy to overlook the country's physical beauty, from the wind-polished rock formations of the white desert to the iron-clad mountains of the Sinai. Nor does the beauty of the country end at the shore: the underwater landscapes of the Red Sea are one of Egypt's most precious treasures.
